Mileena General Discussion

[JHCRANE 14]

I downloaded the update and only got rain and Rambo. Melina is still grayed out and I don’t have the option to download her. Is anyone else having this problem?

 

[Vslayer]

so the reverse command grab is so much easier to do lmao it feels more flowy

what platform are you on?

I know Derek was all about Mileena's crazy rushdown or whatever but between the backdash, throws sending people away, a teleport attack, and low sai, Mileena is reading like a counterzoner to me. I'm experimenting with the sliding Sai today to add another bit of space control and slow down the match accordingly. Anyone have a similar thought? I'm running the extended strings as a third trait but not married to it.

I agree.

 

[Swindle]

If anyone is interested in Mileena’s maskless gear piece, it’s in the shop.

Gotta say,I wasn't expecting the pushback on her EX Sai to be this dummy. Even her meterless Sai Toss is kinda safe-ish except against fast, advancing reversals. We sure this chick don't want space to zone?

 

[1man3letters]

Really odd thing.
She can't os her jk into special on block like other character can, jk-grounded special comes out on block.

Super strange

XB1

The recovery on all of her moves is insane. Like, I understand why they did it, but it's gonna take some major getting used to after MKX.

I just expected her to be gimped down from the get-go. Like everyone else in the game. It's a very different game from Mortal Kombat XL in terms of mechanics and pacing.

 

[xenogorgeous]

her comand grab is insane good ..... if you connect any of her basic string with 2 hits, or any of her simple hit normal stand or crouch moves, any of them, you can just forward dash and do the command grab freely ..... almost all the same with the telekick, if you hit stun with any of her basic combos, the telekick is guaranteed to link to it .....

Green Man Gaming has yet to send out the KP2 keys .

I'm still at work, but hope they do so by the time I get home tonight.

So it looks like Mileena is actually the better grappler over Rambo??

Yeah there's an issue with Xbox, keep an eye on the Netherrealm twitter for updates.

 

[Gaxkang]

So Race Against Time this week is not Mileena....but Kitana costumes which ya can't see very well but look like variations of MK2 costume colors?

 

[Kiss the Missile]

I gotta be honest I haven't been this disappointed in a character in a minute.

Ball costs meter to launch, air sai isn't a base special move, can't cancel telekick with sai. Its like they looked at all the things that made this character fun and decided to toss it out. This has got to be the most MK11's character yet. Almost every special she had has been gimped like crazy.

idc about how good her zoning is now. I don't want to zone with Mileena, I want to do insane combos.

 

[xWildx]

In Honeybee’s video he does 233, MB roll, ji1, f431+3 MB.

I, for the life of me, can’t get the f4 to connect. Can anyone else get this? Or did they alter the gravity on the day one patch?

Edit: Nevermind. Got it. Have to delay the fuck out of the ji1.

 

[fluffybunbunkittens]

Yeah, Stephanie answered to a tweet that 'it's a known issue'...

 

[heptagrams]

Well yeah Kitana doesn’t feel like regular Combo Queen Kitana in MK11. It’s no surprise that Mileena has a similar fate in this game.

 

[projectzero00]

How do you get these??

 

[xXRagingFlameXx]

Doing her towers right now. Absolutely loving her slide. I went with the more MKX Ravenous style Mileena with her kombo extenders and her slide. I have the command grab as well but tbh I'm not really into using it so I might switch it out for something else. Maybe with her sai slide if anyone knows if that's any good?

But overall I'm really loving how she feels. She does everything I really want her to do. Flipping all around the place, up high, down low with the slide, it's really satisfying to play her. Yeah she's not combo heavy like in MKX, but honestly I don't mind. I'm not good at combo so I personally prefer how she is now.

Does her cmd grab tic off anything? Any strings?

Bro who the fuck designed this character?
Invisibility costs meter to use, still shows your silhouette and gives you a damage debuff

 

[Juxtapose]

and gives you a damage debuff

I wasn't interested in that Variation/ability personally, but a debuff? Wha?

 

[Kiss the Missile]

Remember when Reptile's EX invisibility was actually invisible, could be used to extend combos and MADE YOU INVINCIBLE

 

[Vslayer]

Corner combos with CG and normal ball roll.

Mid screen stuff: you can also just do the f124 string and do the same damage for one bar and send them full screen and zone with sais and sai slide.
